All pullups for that sessions were bodyweight. I train pullups twice a week, one session is 'ladders' using only my bodyweight, ie. what you read. The other i do weighted pullups. I've never used resistance bands for pullups.

Why are you going to Thailand? I've been 3 times, and I love it, at least the part that is not Bangkok! 1 1/2 hour of Thai massage for like US$3!

Just a little/ish holiday with my girlfriend. This will be my third time also, nut my girlfriends first. I have a good friend of mine who i lived with at Uni who moved out there to do a years teaching, that was in 2005 and he's not made it back yet!!! My girlfriends youngest brother is out there teaching as well. They're both in Bangkok, which i don't mind for a few days, but then it's off to the beach we shall go and then maybe Cambodia depending on the time.

As you can imagine, i'm looking forward to it.

I still look at weights posted in kg, and think "200 ain't all that much... oh, wait. That's kilos. That's 440 pounds!"As I recall without looking back, when you started posting you were pulling less than me. Now you have me beat all over the place. Nice, consistent work.

Actually, I got curious and looked back. You were pulling a little more than me when you started posting. In January, 09 you pulled 319. In April I got a pr of 315, which do to a series of setbacks, I didn't improve on until last year. In that time you got yours up to 4-whatever. That 440 you just posted isn't a PR, is it?

just so you know Phil: you and I are at exactly the same level of strength on the bench press, so we are now in direct competition.

That is exactly the sort of thing i want to here. Nothing like a bit of friendly competition.

Unfortunately, training wise anyway, i'm off to Thailand for 3 weeks in 12 days time. So you're going to get a head start on me. Here's the plan, train till the end of the year and see where we are, but; you have to start posting your upper body workouts in your journal otherwise i won't know where you're up to.

Deal?!
